Here is the family room setup. Rear projection (blubs could use replacement, but man is that expensive, might as well get a whole new unit for that cost). I will be thinking about upgrading some of the parts early next year. This is the hub for the whole house sound also.

For those of you feeling a bit humbled by the large projected systems shown on this thread, there are pros and cons with large systems. Sure, you get a lovely large picture but in several other areas a smaller Plasma or LCD screen has advatanges too such as much lower prices for a 1080P native resolution compared to a native 1080P projector, Lower running costs (Projector bulbs wear out around 1000-4000 hours) and a higher contrast ratio too.

For a while I had a 50" plasma and a 90" projected system and the plasma though smaller has a much nicer image with stronger colours and deep blacks a projected system cannot hope to compete with. With standard DVD and TV a smaller screen is more suitable too in my opinion.

Please don't misunderstand me. As large projected systems go, Farout's and Stew's systems are very very nice indeed. All I am saying is that the smaller systems have lots of merit too.

My HT is a room I built myself in the basement. It's simple to a fault. The screen is 72x40 and the audio is 5.1. (If you see a second Sub it's used mostly as a foot rest. The walls are not really the purplish color you see here that's a camera thing. I tried to figure out the white balance settings for the camera and then they showed up even more blue. In fact they are dark red.

The lights came from a theater that was being redone.

I also have a few rows of seating from my local theater but authentic movie theater seating can be a painful thing for home theater use so they are abandoned for now.

The equipment rack is located outside the theater. For now the seating is a futon couch. (At least it has a red matress cover that kind of matches the room.)

All these pix look blury as hell to me. When I'm done with coffee I'm going to go try again and maybe get a screen shot or two.

I do like the sconces you have. I want some of those too. All I have in my HT is ceiling mounted here:

Ok here goes a picture. I just done mine as an attachment. Its not a good picture but it was the only one I could find. I'll take a better picture when my wife gets home and shows me how to use her camera.
